      We used the LUX Bus package to Universal Studios. They picked us up right outside the hotel (on time) and dropped us back same place. There were a lot of people to pick up but we arrived 30 minutes after opening and got through the gates in good time. The attractions were great and the family had an awesome time.

      Our travel agent booked this service for us as it was their preferred tour company. We won’t be using this service again.

      We were told to be at our stop 10 mins before pickup time. We did our part and the bus arrived 15 mins after pickup. We stopped at many hotels picking up passengers before getting on the highway to Universal.

      We were assured by LUX when confirming our reservation that we would be there by 10 am to enjoy an entire day at the park. We did not arrive until close to 10:45. We missed nearly an hour of park time because of the delay in picking up and the inevitable traffic.

      The entire ride was spent listening to LOVE FM which is a fully Christian radio station. I found it entirely inappropriate for the nearly 2 hr ride. I would have been happier with silence.

      The tour operator never came on the air to tell us what was happening or even show us the sites of LA as we drove.

      Overall I would not recommend using this group for travel to Universal especially if you want to get there before the park opens.

      Bus was late, then delayed departure waiting for people who weren’t on time. Cut into time able to spend at Universal. Tried to call and no answer at all contact numbers provided on Website. Tried to use online chat, and no response. They initially refused to refund $ saying they would credit my credit card used to book. When I called, and finally reached someone in the afternoon, they told me they don’t do that. They did refund cash we paid, but very disappointed that they delayed everyone else for one couple that didn’t get there on time. Would not recommend at all. Ended up using Uber, which was far better service!!

      We used LUX to go to Universal Studios from Anaheim in January 2019. Pick up was right out front of our hotel and delivered us right to the gate at Universal, which was awesome as it was pouring rain. Bus was very clean and comfortable and the driver was very accomodating for our group as we had a stroller as well as a mobility scooter (with advance notification they block off seats in order to transport the scooter).
      On the way home, the bus was on time and very warm, which was appreciated as most everyone was soaked to the bone. The driver turned on a movie for the trip back to keep the kids and adults occupied. Will definately look into LUX for future tours.

      We used LUX to transport us to Universal Studios from Anaheim in Feb 2018. We were a family of five with children ages 7, 7, and 10. Pick up was easy and smooth. The bus had comfortable seats and an onboard washroom. The driver also served as our guide. She was funny and talked the about all the sites along the way. We learned a lot and it made the time pass quickly, especially for our kids. Our Universal Studios tickets were included with the package. The driver handed us our tickets as we got off the bus, so we were able to bypass the long time where people were exchanging their vouchers for tickets. Awesome! Pick up was at 6:00 when the pack closed and it was easy to find the bus again. There was a movie playing on the bus during the return to Anaheim. Most people slept. It was a long ride, as traffic in LA is fierce, but at least we were comfortable. We asked to be let of at an alternate stop so we could grab something to eat at a restaurant near our hotel, and the driver was very accommodating.

      The bus was late and traffic sucks! We didn't see everything. The only thing we liked was Harry Potter and the Studio tour.

      We used Luxbus for a recent trip to Universal Studios. Our Driver Terri was wonderful. She was on time, it was a quick and easy pick up. She gave an amazing tour of all the interesting sights on the way to Universal. It was a bit more expensive than Starline tours, but I thought much better value for money. The bus was very comfortable, and it was an easy and pleasant way to get to Universal Studios. I would recommend this method of transportation to everyone wanting to get to Universal from Anaheim.

      We were here several years ago and found the park to be upgraded including adding more parking structures. My wife opt'd for the Universal Express Pass even though the cost was higher ($248 per person) versus standard ($119 per person). There was an employee working the line who tried to talk us into the VIP level ($408 per person). When we rejected that, he sort of got miffed at us. Aside from that interaction, Robert (ticket counter) explained the process better for us and suggested that the Universal Express, while more expensive than standard, given the heat, we would be avoiding any long lines and move to the head of the line. My wife and I went on all but 2 rides (we didn't want to get wet - Jurassic Park, and my wife didn't want to ride the Flight of the Hippogriff). It was hot - temps in the high 90's so our option for the Universal Express was the right choice. Some of the lines had 45+ minute waits. Ugh. We had a great time and happy to do it again when we come back.

      Beware make sure you bring a healthy wallet and your credit cards, Universal is a bit more overt than Disney about wanting your money. Also, if you go during the summer when it is hot and humid make sure you drink plenty of water. While they do have misters, there is no shady areas to sit in if you need to take a break and air conditioning is only available in the shops or when you eventually make it onto a ride. Also there was only one attraction we found that smaller children and people with medical conditions could ride. You should not take anyone younger then 13 to this park. Also the lines for the best rides are always in excess of 60 minutes and you wait most of the time outside with no shade. You can buy the a "fast pass" but be prepared to pay a premium unlike at Disney. Also, It bothered me that there were so many obvious places to purchase alcohol in a place that is supposed to be for family fun. Don't waste your money here, your money would be better spent purchasing an additional day at Disney.

      The trip out Universal from Anaheim is long. The theme park was not as good as Disneyland and we think we should have skipped the day there. Probably suit teenagers more than young kids but for the cost of the day we enjoyed Disneyland better. The best part was Harry Potter
